I hope everyone who attended the Easter Workshops with Rachel Sheil enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately the numbers were quite low despite interest shown. If anyone has any other suggestions on holiday activities they would like to see available in the studio, please let me know!

CHOREOGRAPHY COMPETITION

This year’s Choreography Competition will take place this Saturday 17th April at 1-3pm. This is an opportunity for all students in Dance Club to try their hand at creating their own routine(s).
